Description

Surprisingly, peanuts are not actually in the nut family. They are classified as legumes along with foods like green peas, soybeans, and lentils. But actually, peanuts have many of the same health benefits as the more expensive nuts and should not be overlooked as a nutritious food.

Peanuts are a good source of essential nutrients, including protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins (such as B vitamins and vitamin E), and minerals (such as magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium). Peanuts are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy fats.
